[jira] [Created] (ARROW-1074) from_pandas doesnt convert ndarray to
list
Abdul Rahman created ARROW-1074:
-----------------------------------
Summary: from_pandas doesnt convert ndarray to list
Key: ARROW-1074
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1074
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.4.0
Reporter: Abdul Rahman
Priority: Minor
[Feel free to change issue type because this is probably by design]
I have noticed that that if the one of the columns in the parquet file is of type array, pyarrow table stores it as list
>>> table[3].type
DataType(list<element: string>)
If I do a .to_pandas() on the column, I get something like this
0 None
1 [7]
2 [46]
dtype: object
However, I cant do a pyarrow.Table.from_pandas from a dataframe having the above ndarray as a series/column. I get this error
Invalid: Python object of type ndarray is not None and is not a string, bool, float, int, date,
decimal object
If to_pandas() can covert a list to ndarray, shouldnt from_pandas also convert an ndarray to type list in the table ?
